In the end I was not able to reproduce the problem when printing from another computer that runs linux. I can only reproduce when printing from the built-in pdf viewer in Chrome OS. It only seems to happen when extensibles are "converted" into type3 snippets (so that one can copy a big parentheses that has pieces and get the correct unicode character, for example). This can be disabled with \disabledirectives[math.extensibles] and I can use that when printing from this computer. I should probably report somehow to Google, but that seems less clear how to do, if possible.
